class from variable

[cssslt]

How can I call a class from a variable ?

Something like :

Dim strClassName As string = "clsAction"
Dim newclass = strClassName

I know that this code doesn't work, but how can I do it, if possible.

Thanks
Martin

I have found my answer

Dim strClassName As String = "clsAction"

Dim classType As Type = Type.GetType("CallCenter." & strClassName)
Dim classObj As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(classType)

Now, I do I call my sub (from a variable) from this class ?

Dim strSubName = "subAction"

classObj.strSubName ???

Dim method = classType.GetMethod("subAction")
method.Invoke(classObj, Nothing)

When I use your code, JohnH, it's telling me that parameters are missing in the invoke.

So pass the parameters then... MethodBase.Invoke Method (Object, Object[]) (System.Reflection)
